I'm listed as "maintainer" of this now, not because I really want to
be but it would be a shame not to have a pretty standard and useful
tool for code browsing in our repos.

Ok, anyway there is no need to adopt it if you don't want to maintain it. I
added a note in the wiki page to keep it.

It's no big deal; not a super-active project upstream and no bug
reports so I can take it on for now.

GPT fdisk is maintained by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa). Orphaning that
should have been a mistake since archboot installer uses gdisk
extensively. I maintain gptfdisk-git
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39338 .
